Self-harming pain,
you try to break free,
but it's all in vain
No matter what you do
or what you are going through
Cutting seems like an escape
A way out of the emotional ache.

But stop running
put the razor, knife away!
It's a vicious cycle
Feeding the suicidal spiral,
But you knew that, didn't 'you'?
It's what happened to 'you'
On that dark night
When all the lights went on strike
And the darkness vowed to leave nothing behind.

I miss 'you'...
I miss who I used to be
Every tear, every smile
Etched forever in my heart
But is tearing me apart,
'You' thought I was fine,
but I was far from close
and though I never said the words,
'You' should have known,
'You' knew me better than anyone ever could, so how did 'you' not understand?

Now 'you 'are gone,
and with you,
'You' took all my dreams
And I'm left here without
I'm left here
Not knowing what else to do,
I can only cry,
But the pain is ripping me appart
And everything is falling away,

I'm slowly drifting,
The dust of my remaining existence fading
The only thing leff
Are the memories
'You' left behind
I implored death to take me,
So I could see 'you'
And when that day finally arrives
My pain will be gone,
my sorrow extinct
and I won't have to pretend anymore.

My tears will dry
In the blink of an eye.
And the only thing
I will leave behind
will be my words
and the girl
I once was...
